Text Appearing Before Image:
rith a smoother surface and are stronger than theaverage cast steel usually furnished. The coupler yoke filler, shown on the drawing, is used on sev-eral classes of Pennsylvania Railroad freight equipment and isbeing very successfully forged on a 6-inch universal forgingmachine,* with the dies and formers shown in the photo. Scrapmaterial is assembled, as shown in the foreground of the photoand is heated. The flat pieces are usually made from old archbars. The amount of the parts thus assembled is governed byweight. Only one movement of the machine is necessary tocomplete the forging. The fin is at the edges of the rectangularsection and is easily removed by forcing the forging, while hot,through a die in the vertical press of the machine. These forg-ings are made in the smith shop of the Altoona car shops.

June, 19M. AMERICAN ENGINEER AND RAILROAD JOURNAL. 231 STEEL CAR FOR CARRYING PLATE GLASS. A steel car for carrying plate glass, designed by the Pennsyl-vania Railroad for the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company, is shownon the accompanying drawings. As the glass must be carriedstanding in an upright position it is necessary, in order to havesufficient room within the clearance limits, to provide a well-hole.This arrangement also makes it easier to securely brace thelading. Following are the general dimensions of the car: Length over end sills 40 ft. Width over sides 10 ft. Distance between truck centers 80 I Length of well-hole opening (about) 1!» ft. :. in. Widtli of well-hole opening 6 ft. Depth of well-hole % ft. &A :n. Heignt from rail to top of floor 3 ft. 10 in. Height from rail to top of well-hole floor 1 ft. i% in. The well-hole makes it impossible to use the ordinary centersill construction and the arrangement of the bolster and theend must be such as to transmit the buffing
